Hell: is it real...Or made up for a lil extra"umph"

Believe it or not, many churches deny the existence of hell...Or just conveniently forget to mention it ."It was just put in the bible to add a little color"

Take the Mormons for example: they believe that there is no hell, but three levels of heaven. The first is for sinners who have not repented(kinda like a purgatory), the second is for those who are Christians, but are not Mormon, then the third level of heaven, which is the closest to God, is for devout mormons only. There are also those pastors who are afraid of scaring off people, so they avoid any thing that may even touch on"the h word".

Also, although it may sound disrespectful of me to say this: but funerals. We always talk about "how we will see them in heaven someday" even if they were atheists why denied God and live horribly immoral lives. It would be kind of awful to say "they are frying as we speak", but I just don't think it's right to lie either. They should just avoid discussing where a person is at that moment.
